QUICK TIPS

You must use the computer the system reserves for you.

Time you miss (up to 5 minutes) is deducted from your 90 minutes allotment.

If you log out by mistake, you can log back in if you have time remaining.

When your time is up, the computer automatically logs you off; you'll get advance warnings.
